I think that this this comparison is more fair as they both have IRS!

Well according to that the polaris seems to have the advantage in a bunch of categories.Though fuel injection on the polaris would be cool in the winter.</end quote></div>

Again and again....those "at the crank" CARB horsepower numbers that are next to useless, get quoted when someone needs to make their favorite quad seem to look better than it actually is!
</end quote></div>

That's only true if someone's favorite quad is a Arctic Cat, Can-Am, Kawasaki, Polaris, Suzuki, Yamaha... you get the picture. [img]i/expressions/face-icon-small-smile.gif[/img] ALL HONDA UTILITY QUADS ARE VERY WEAK COMPARED TO ALL OTHER BRANDS. Period. End of story. You claim Honda has a more efficient transmission. <u>Now</u> who's trying to make their favorite quad look better than it actually is???

SP 400 H.O = A short time with a good looking girl.

420 Rancher = A long time with a not so good looking girl.

Both are not bad options.

My buddies Polaris is tall, and sloppy with a lot of body roll. Coming off my IRS Rancher, his bike seem absolutely ludicrous on technical sidehills!!!



The Rancher is low and tight and stable! Handles more like a sport quad, than the current generation of sloppy long travel utilities that are so popular. If you feel like you need IRS, there is the new Rancher 420AT.</end quote></div>


Who was the first to put irs in a quad,polaris,most utility IRS designs are built very similar to the tried and true polaris design.Polaris was also the first to mass utilize cvt trannies which is a very efficient way to get power to the ground.
